To The Commissioner of Pensions,
Dear Sir,
My paternal ancestor, Samuel Eddins, who served in the War of the Revolution as Captain in the 1 st Artillery Regiment - from Virginia received a grant - of land July 7 - 17 - , as an Officer of Virginia on Continental establishment. The Adjutant - General can find no record of where that grant - was given or taken up - he suggested to me you might be able to tell me. Mr. Eddins served from Va., but - reared a family in N.C. If I can locate where he took this land the County records will doubtless give me the date of his marriage and death, which I desire.
If you can assist - me I will

deeply appreciate the favor,
Very truly,
Mrs. W. F. Williams,
